Rewriting the Rules of Child Support: The Hidden Truths No One Talks About

Featuring Hosts Deborah Moskovitch & Steve Peck with Guest Mike Mira

A Milestone Episode in Divorce Education

From the Family Support Expo in Toronto, this Smart Divorce episode marks a pivotal moment in how we understand and navigate the complexities of post-divorce parenting. With empathy and clarity, Deborah Moskovitch and Steve Peck dive deep with guest Mike Mira, a legal veteran and founder of Support Information Exchange, to unravel the unspoken challenges of child support.

The Storyline That Sets This Episode Apart

While most discussions about child support stay surface-level, this episode explores the emotional, legal, and financial toll it takes on both payers and recipients—especially when systems designed to help fall short.

• Why constant re-engagement over finances post-divorce is a recipe for conflict
• The hidden psychological costs of writing that monthly check
• How technology is reshaping transparency and trust between co-parents

This episode stands as a foundational conversation—not only in the Smart Divorce series but also as a conceptual predecessor to what would become the Soft Landing Podcast. It’s more than a discussion—it’s a step toward a smarter, more humane approach to separation and co-parenting.
